Introduction: Carpo-metacarpal joint fracture-dislocations are rare injuries. They constitute less than 1% of all hand injuries [1]. They often go unnoticed [2]. Of these, dorsal fracture-dislocations on the ulnar side are more commonly seen [3] because of the greater stabilizing dorsal structures. Volar fracture-dislocations are very rare and difficult to diagnose for which, one should have a keen eye on. Case Report: This is a case of a 51-year-old female with a closed injury to her wrist. With clinical suspicion and appropriate radiographs fracture-dislocation of the 4th and 5th carpometacarpal joints with volar displacement was diagnosed. She underwent closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation, followed by 6 weeks of immobilization. At the final follow-up in 4 months, the patient was noted to have a satisfactory outcome following intense physiotherapy. Conclusion: Fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocations of the fingers are unique; their diagnosis can be challenging and often overlooked [4], which if missed can have very poor outcomes. The functional prognosis depends on the precocity of diagnosis and appropriate reduction and vigorous rehabilitation.

Background Fracture and dislocations of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joints except the thumb are relatively rare. Herein, we report the case of a delayed fracture–dislocation of fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints. Case Description The patient is a 41-year-old, right-handed male. To improve the complaints, such as decreased motion, reduced grip strength, and cosmetic appearance, surgical treatment surgically performed with resection of scar tissues and fixation using suture button at 11 weeks after injury. Movement began at 2 weeks after the surgery, which resulted in satisfactory appearance and good function of 92 and 101% of the motion of the unaffected side of the fifth CMC joint and grip strength, respectively. Literature Review Missed diagnosis can cause impairment of function including grip strength and range of motion. Nevertheless, a few previous studies reported that patients with delayed diagnosis did not need further treatment because of less functional loss and less improvement. Clinical Relevance The surgical treatment using the implant allowed early motion from 2 weeks after surgery which resulted in good motion of the ulnar CMC joints as well as increased hand grip.

Intercarpal Fusion

We report a rare case of combined fracture dislocations of the trapezoid and multiple carpometacarpal joints that became chronic due to inappropriate treatments. Although an acceptable clinical result was obtained with limited intercarpal fusion, correct diagnosis and initial treatments including anatomical reduction and fixation for obtaining a good clinical result, are important for complex trapezoid injury.
